HOW TO EDIT PDF's IN MS WORD?

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a common format used for sharing documents. PDF is basically an image file, So that it requires sophisticated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology in order to convert that image format of PDF file to text. It would require Adobe Acrobat X Pro to edit the information in PDF file which is a costly one.


But Word 2013 has made the things easy and cheap. Word 2013 has many worm features and among those features "Capability to edit PDF file" is an important feature among those features. Word 2013 lets us to edit PDF files by allowing us to open PDF file as .docx file, make changes to it and then save it back to PDF format. This conversion of PDF to text documents works best with textual PDF documents only.

HOW TO EDIT PDF's IN MS WORD 2013:

  1. Open MS Word 2013, Click File > Open.
  2. Choose the location of the PDF file, which you wanted to edit and click Browse.
  3. Click on it and the click Open.
After the PDF file is opened in text format, then make whatever changes you wanted to make to the PDF file. When once you are done with your Editing and changes, click File > Save as and then save the document as a PDF file.

Note:

  • During the process of converting PDF file to editable .docx text format file, the page format and correspondence of the pages will be lost (Due to presence of PDF Reflow to convert PDF files into word documents in Word 2013).
  • If you did not save the edited .docx file as PDF type, by default it will be saved as .docx file only.
I think this is a handy tool to edit PDF files and convert them back to original PDF format. In Word 2007, we can save and export to PDF and XPS formats with the help of "SaveAsPDFandXps" add-in. Have you find any other tools to edit PDF files? If yes, comment below about those tools.
